In Your Dreams: Chapter 54

The flight back to Capsule Corp was a leisurely one. Piccolo had gone ahead to give the newlywed couple some time to themselves before they'd have to mingle with the crowd that awaited them. The two Saiyajins practically floated along on the breeze and simply enjoyed the moment. No words needed to be exchanged for either to express the feeling of completion the simple ceremony had instilled in each of them; it was obvious enough. Even Vegeta found himself glancing down at the ring that encircled his finger, and his lips quirked upward when the sight of it filled him with a plethora of emotions. Who knew something as pointless as a human wedding could evoke anything besides annoyance within him. He suspected Kakarotto was rubbing off on him.

Black eyes shifted from his ring to his mate, who floated along with his back facing the ground. Momoku was perched on his stomach and secured with his tail, which he'd wrapped around the child's body two times in a loose but protective hold. The child squealed in delight as Goku's fingers danced across her skin, only to move out of her reach before she could snag one of the wandering digits, which would surely end up in her mouth should she be fortunate enough to catch one.

The soft smile that adorned the younger man's face is what really caught Vegeta's attention, however. He'd seen his mate smile plenty of times, but never had he looked so completely carefree and relaxed in all the months they'd been together. There wasn't a tense muscle in his body, and his eyes were clear and full of happiness.

''Vegeta, what are you thinking?''

The prince blinked himself from his thoughts and immediately wiped the silly grin off his face as his eyes snapped back to those of his mate's, and he coughed into a fist when he saw the knowing smile on Goku's lips.

''Nothing I can discuss in front of our daughter.''

Vegeta turned away and focused on the path in front of him, but the hitch in the other man's breathing was enough to make him smirk. He was sure if he glanced over Kakarotto's face would be flushed and looking just like a ripe tomato. That was something he'd never tire of seeing.

-------------------------------------------------

No matter how slow they traveled, it was inevitable they end up at Capsule Corp. As the two Saiyajins slowly descended to the ground several heads turned in their direction. The majority of the guests had seated themselves around their assigned tables, though it appeared the food had yet to be served. The most anyone had were half empty glasses of wine or water. Apparently they were waiting for the guests of honor.

Vegeta was the first to touch the ground, and a soft rustle behind him marked Goku's presence as well. The younger Saiyajin lingered a couple steps to his rear, and the prince glanced over his shoulder with a raised eyebrow when his mate failed to make another move. The worried and guilty expression on Kakarotto's face told the tale, however, and the older man didn't miss the way those black orbs strayed over to Victor's table.

Before he could utter any words of encouragement, Bulma closed the distance between them, waving her hand as if he wouldn't be able to spot her among the crowed. Vegeta couldn't help but roll his eyes at her antics. If he couldn't see her, he could always hear her. No need to draw extra attention to herself...thought that was probably her intention.

''About time you two got back! We didn't want to serve the food until the new couple arrived!''

Vegeta folded his arms over his chest and grunted, nodding in Piccolo's direction, who inclined his chin just enough to acknowledge him. The Namekian had had the foresight to fill the guests in on the altered ceremony to spare him the hassle of having to explain it himself; and he was certainly in no mood to answer a series of ridiculous questions.
